Ingredients
3 packages Fossil Farms Berkshire Pork St. Louis Ribs

Dry Rub
1/3 cup chili powder
4 tbsp. ground cumin
4 tbsp. onion powder
4 tbsp. ground allspice
4 tbsp. celery salt
4 tbsp ground coriander seed

Wet Rub
4 1⁄2 cup ketchup
1 1⁄2 cup Molasses
1 cup Maple syrup
2 1⁄2 cup cider vinegar
3⁄4 cup Bourbon
3⁄4 cup coffee
3⁄4 cup Dijon mustard
2 oz. Tabasco

Directions
Gather all dry ingredients and mix together in a large bowl. In a large soup pot, toast the spices with enough cider vinegar to make a paste-like consistency. Once the spices become smoky and fragrant, transfer the toasted spice-paste into a large pot and incorporate the wet ingredients. Use an immersion blender or whisk to emulsify the mixture as some of the spice-paste and Dijon mustard will be slow to dissolve smoothly. Bring to a boil. Cut the heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes. Smoke the ribs with cherry and apple wood until meat is falling off the bone.
